The Gerber Products Company is holding a yearly contest to choose the new Gerber "spokesbaby".

For 91 years the company, a giant player in the market, featured a charcoal sketch of an infant that became known as the GerberBaby and was seen as an ideal. According to reports, Lucas' mother did not expect him to win the title.

Netizens have applauded the decision of the brand as the move will support children with special needs and will help the society accept them just as others.

The Gerber Baby contest started in 1927, shortly after the company was founded.

Lucas Warren will be the 2018 Gerber Spokesbaby.

Kristin Wooten, a spokesperson for Gerber, told CNN, "Every year, since the beginning of the Gerber Baby Photo Search, we choose the baby who exemplifies Gerber's longstanding heritage of recognizing that every baby is a Gerber baby, and Lucas is a ideal fit".

The proud dad is a helicopter fix person and served in Georgia's National Guard for six years, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

In reward, the baby and his parents will get a $50,000 check.
